Written on back: P.S. Would like to ask if there are any more claims to be taken of out there. My Son 19 years old and a friend of his about the same age would like to take up something of that sort. Do you think a couple of boys could run a claim. Tell me all you can when you write again. Does one have to have considerable money to start with out there. Have always lived in a city so know nothing about homesteading so tell me all you can about it.
